Accie's fake Rolex.

[Accy cyclist]

Surely nicer than a similar priced stainless steel Rolex? For the same price as a 'boring' Rolex you can have a classy, solid 18 carat gold piece of bling!

'Please note that this bracelet is not easily resized, and will best fit a wrist with circumference between 17 and 19cm'

My size too, but I'm 17.5 cms, so it might be slightly loose. I like things to fit snugly.

That is really nice

That is really nice

And a nice price as well! I do like that bracelet though! The question is will it hold the price they're asking for it? If it would then it's worth serious consideration.🤔 Rolex's are two a penny, but I don't see many IWC beauties like that up for sale!

This one Reynard?

Yep, that's the one.

T'other one has what's known as an onion crown.

I'll admit that gold IWC wristwatch with the integrated bracelet isn't quite my but I do have a ladies' silver Stowa with a similar kind of bracelet.

I bought it on a whim as I really liked the Bauhaus design (ok, it only cost me £20) but the bracelet is just a little bit too big and can't be resized. So it just sits in the watch box, which is a real shame.

Remember my mantra, Accy.

When faced with a difficult decision you just ask yourself, what would Lewis Collins do?

Drive fast around industrial estates in a silver Capri?

I suppose if I were to buy it and it was loose on my wrist I could either return it, though I can't see/find a returns policy, or I could get some of those sticky back soft foam fillers, used for hats that are too big. Or maybe just eat more to put some weight on!

Wasn't it a beige one, with a black vinyl roof? 🤔

This one is a 1980's quartz watch. I don't know. Is it a bit TOO 1980's maybe? 🤔

I'm not too sure about that circular bits pattern either. 🤔

 

[Reynard]

That circular pattern is a standard way of finishing the inside of a caseback on good quality watches. It's got a specific name, but I can't think of it right now.

It reminds me of the 1970's/80's/90's, when they had that pattern on emulsioned bare plaster walls.

You do realise that’s in Stamford, Connecticut, USA and not Stamford Lincolnshire? Import hassle, duties and all that.
